Not sure what it says about the rating system from a consistency point of view. My national horse went to 144 simply for winning a maiden......

please read a separate thread for my view on this as don't want to hijack this one.

Its very consistent , u win a maiden over a longer trip and u get 140 rating. Its been that way just about every season in SO6. Present Abbey won a maiden two seasons ago and was given 140 , Struggle won a maiden last season and was given 140 and My horse Queen won a maiden at the start of this season and she was given 140.

CANT BELIEVE IT!!! The one night i miss the stream my horse wins.. COME ON lol

OLD SOUTH AFRICA!!!!

Well Done Tim and a great name for a winner.

LOL thanks bud, happy im getting a few. One day a graded one i hope you been in top form as well so well done.

A win in each code last week. I had high hopes for a lot of my flat runners last week and most of them bombed out. I have even higher hopes this week.

And there is my first G1 flat win!

Dreamers Mile won the G1 Etihad Airways Falmouth Stakes and there were no signs she could do this!
Even considered to scratch her after week 5, she ran 5th and 10th in G1s and 12th in a G3, maybe she likes it to run without stallions!?

Also Clear Eyes Full Hearts was able to win the NH Flat Race also surprising, nice start into the week.

Congrats to all winners and placers and as always to the league team for the excellent work!

Moliets Surfer (Holger)

congrats Holgar i did say your team were much improved and now you have a G1 under your belt much desrved well done

Congrats, Holger! Well deserved. Must be a great feeling. Hopefully there will be more to come.

Flat

No winners on the flat today but a couple of nice 2nd places.

Jumps

3 winners over fences today, a G1, a G2 and a H'cap

Eagle Bridge Boy won the G1 Christmas Hurdle. He's been in the money all season and this is his 2nd win.

Garden Vale Girl, my No. 2 horse, won the G2 Relkeel Hurdle. This is her 4th win of the season. 2m 4f hurdles seems to be my strongest event this season. My No. 1 horse goes in the race 30, the G1 Hattons Grace Hurdle.

Drummond Shore Boy won the Silver Cup H'cap Chase running off a very nice mark, despite this being his 2nd h'cap win of the season.


Well done Holger on your G1 win. Hopefully, many more to come.


Congrats to all winners and placers.

Just having a short break - we always end up gas-bagging, so Martin has heaps of editing to do which takes ages and I usually don't get to bed til 2am because of time zones. So for the Royal Ascot shows (for example) - it was 3 nights in a row where I didn't crash til 2am.

So far this week I've collected a bit of chump change but I did have a nice 3rd in a low grade chase and two of my stayers got butchered by wide draws and then trapped wide on the flat.
Hopefully for SO7 we don't have race starts on the apex of bends any more.

Good to see Jamie Hopkins bag another winner
